Imagine traveling cross-country, on a quest to find the best barbecue in the USA–and getting paid for it.

This summer, that dream will become reality for one lucky BBQ aficionado. Reynold’s Kitchens is looking for a Chief Grilling Officer to discover the best grilling tips and tricks from America’s most barbecue-loving cities. Then, they’ll share the results of their thorough research (i.e. much taste-testing) with backyard grillers everywhere, via the company’s website and social media channels.

“We’re looking for a truly passionate grilling enthusiast to lead the way across the country and discover hidden grilling gems,” said Reynold’s Consumer Products foil brand director, Brienne Neisewander, in a statement.

The two-week gig comes with prepaid travel and lodging accommodations, hookups with the hottest BBQ eateries in the country, plus a $10,000 stipend. It also includes a plus-one, so you can bring a friend or your S.O. along to join in the gluttony.
